Many years ago I cut down a few trees and buried branches in a hole I dug with a backhoe. I filled the hole and drove over it with the backhoe to pack it down. I wet the soil, added more fill, and drove over it again with the backhoe to make sure it was packed down really well.
I lived in that house for over 20 years and that spot continued to sink as the old wood rotted. Every few years I would have to add fill to make it level and replant grass seed.
Lesson learned! I would never do that again.
